When you set a custom task type as default for adding new tasks, all tasks - including sub-taks, are createrd as a custom task type.
In our workflow we have custom task type to see the status of e.g. a request, but the subtasks need to be normal tasks.
Is there a way to do this? If not , would this be useful for others?
Hello @Herve_Buisset - When you are adding the tasks to the project, are they being added manually with a rule or are you using a task template?
My problem is that when I add a subtask to a task (that is a custom task type), the subtask is also the same custum task type. IMO this is not logical. You use a custom task type e.g. to update the status of the “main task” and you should have the option to use “task” or “custum tasks” as subtasks.
You could work around this with a rule that converts all new tasks to your preferred task type instead of using the default.
Rules for new tasks (currently) don’t work for subtasks. If in the future they do you can select them to run on tasks only.
Yes! Thanks for the workaround.
Great workaround, indeed!
